MOT & Car Servicing in Sydenham, Lewisham
We MOT and service cars from all over Sydenham. If the test turns up work, we call you with a price before doing anything, and if you agree we fix it there and then rather than sending you away to book another appointment.
The MOT is the bit of car ownership everyone puts off, mostly because of the hassle of getting there and back. For drivers in Sydenham we take that part away completely: we collect the car from your home or workplace, test it at our workshop, and bring it back.
We come to you in Sydenham
We collect from every street in SE26 with our own truck, at a time agreed with you. Sydenham is about 10.6 miles from our yard in Erith, usually via Sydenham Road or Kirkdale, so same-day and next-day collections are normally easy to arrange. The vehicle does not need to run — non-runners, no-key vehicles and flat tyres are all fine.

- Free collection and delivery
- A call with a price before any extra work

Where we work in Sydenham
Collections across Sydenham are usually from the driveway or the street outside, and we are happy to pick up from a workplace near Sydenham Hill Wood or from Sydenham station if that is easier for you. Leave the keys with a neighbour or reception if you will not be in.
With 3 stations nearby — Sydenham, Lower Sydenham and Sydenham Hill — commuter car parks are a regular call-out here; tell us which one and whether it has a barrier.
If you do not know the street name, a landmark is just as good: Sydenham Hill Wood, Mayow Park and Wells Park, or the stations at Sydenham, Lower Sydenham and Sydenham Hill. A dropped pin from your phone works too.
Fixed price, agreed before we start
We do not work from a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The vehicle, the collection address, the destination and anything unusual about the job all change the work involved. Ring 07961 100260 with the details and we will give you one fixed price for Sydenham — no extras added on the day. We take card and bank transfer.

MOT & Car Servicing in Sydenham — FAQs
How does MOT collection work?
Tell us your registration and where the car is. We confirm the MOT due date, collect the car at a time that suits you, carry out the test at our workshop and return it — usually the same day.
How quickly can you reach me in Sydenham?
Sydenham is about 10.6 miles from our yard at Standard Wharf, 189 Manor Road, Erith, so for an emergency we are usually 40 minutes to an hour, normally coming in via Sydenham Road and Kirkdale. Traffic, the time of day and how many jobs are running all move that, so when you ring 07961 100260 we give you a real window for that moment rather than a best case.
What happens if my car fails its MOT?
We call you with the reasons and a fixed price for the repairs. If you agree, we do the work and re-test it straight away. If you would rather take it elsewhere, that is your choice — you only pay for the test.
Do you cover all of SE26?
Yes — every street in SE26, around the clock, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. We also cover the neighbouring areas of Forest Hill, Penge, Crystal Palace and Anerley, so if you are on a boundary it makes no difference.
Can I have a service at the same time as the MOT?
Yes, and it is often cheaper and quicker to do both in one visit. Ask for an interim or full service when you book.
My car won't start at Sydenham station — can you help?
Yes. Station car parks are one of the most common places we are called to in Sydenham, usually for a flat battery after the car has sat all day. Tell us which car park and roughly where you are parked. If it has a height barrier or a pay-on-exit gate, mention that too and we will send the right vehicle and sort the exit with you.
How early can I MOT my car?
You can have the MOT up to a month (minus a day) before it runs out and keep the same renewal date. We can check your due date from the registration.
I have broken down on Sydenham Road — what should I do?
Put your hazards on, stay visible and ring 07961 100260. Give us the nearest house number or junction and we will tell you exactly where we will load. If the street is tightly parked we may winch the car out rather than reverse in, so it helps to know how much space there is.
Do I need to be at home for the collection?
No. Many customers leave the keys with a neighbour, a concierge or reception at work. We agree the arrangements with you in advance.
Are you open at night and at weekends in Sydenham?
Yes. We work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year across Sydenham, Christmas Day and bank holidays included. A real person answers 07961 100260 — no call centre and no automated menu.
